SEARCH CALLED OFF FOR CRABBING BOAT

A Chandler resident is believed to be one of six people aboard a fishing vessel that went missing off the coast of Alaska early Saturday.

The U.S. Coast Guard announced Monday night that it had called off the search for the veteran fishermen aboard a crabbing boat missing in the icy, turbulent Bering Sea.

The ship, called Destination, was about 2 miles northwest of St. George, Alaska, when the Coast Guard received an emergency alert for help Saturday.

The search continued through Monday, officials said. The alert device was recovered Saturday among debris containing buoys, tarps, a life ring from the Destination and an oil sheen, officials said. The crew members' names had not been released.

TASER ACCUSED OF NOT PLAYING FAIRLY

Taser International was disqualified from the city of Phoenix bid process to supply body-worn cameras last year after inappropriate efforts to contact police officials, public documents show.

But Scottsdale-based Taser still isn't out of the running for a police body-camera contract.

Four months after VieVu, the city staff's recommended bid winner, was announced on Sept. 20, Police Chief Jeri Williams said that new specifications would be written and the body-camera contract would be re-bid.

Taser's actions have VieVu's representatives seething. Read the full report by azcentral's Megan Cassidy for more.

Sgt. Vince Lewis, Phoenix police spokesman said there was extensive damage to the SUV. Phoenix Fire Department spokesman, Capt. Reda Bigler, said the driver of the SUV was pronounced dead on the scene.

"Traffic restrictions will be in place, and motorists are advised to avoid the area and chose an alternate route," Lewis said.

CALIF. DAM EVACUATION LIFTED

Nearly 200,000 Northern Californians were allowed to return home Tuesday after two nights of uncertainty about the country’s tallest dam.

But they were warned they may have to again flee to higher ground on a moment’s notice if hastily made repairs don’t hold.

The fixes could be tested later this week, with small storms in the forecast. The real test will be when a record amount of snowfall melts in nearby mountains.

In 2014, ASU signed a 30-year agreement with Phoenix to manage the Papago course and make it home for its golf teams.

DISNEYLAND PRICES INCH UP AGAIN

Happiness is going to cost you a little more if you're seeking it at Disneyland, azcentral's Scott Craven reports.

The Southern California theme park was quiet as a mouse as it raised admission prices this week. A one-day ticket to Disneyland or its companion park California Adventure is now $124 on peak days, up from $119. The increase is more modest on low-demand days, up $2 to $97.
